[vlc-devel] Question about libpng

[Mark Wells]

Hello

Following instructions on 
http://developers.videolan.org/vlc/osx-compile.html

I have the contrib compiled correctly using make src. When I attempt to 
compile vlc using make, i get this after a while:

Making all in ogt
gcc -Wsign-compare -Wall 
-I/Users/richardpilkington/vlc-trunk/extras/contrib/include 
-no-cpp-precomp -D_INTL_REDIRECT_MACROS -finline-limit-30000 -pipe

../../../vlc-config --libs plugin svcdsub`
gcc: unrecognized option `-shared'
ld: table of contents for archive: /usr/local/lib/libpng.a is out of 
date; rerun ranlib(1) (can't load from it)

make[3]: *** [all] Error 2
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2


I went back to /extras/contrib to check for the presence of libpng, and 
I found that it didnt seem to be in the Makefile, although it is 
defined as a prerequisite library for vlc. Am I meant to get this 
library individually? or am i meant to use fink to get this library? (I 
tried this and it didnt seem to make any difference) I think I have 
disabled fink correctly, (as instructed) but could this problem be 
caused because this has not been successful?

:oS
